Religious Studies is a rigorous academic subject that encourages students to develop an interest in the study of religion and belief and how it relates to the wider world. In addition to gaining an in-depth knowledge and understanding of religious beliefs and practices, students are required to critically examine traditional religious, philosophical and ethical theories in an attempt to understand and challenge conventionally accepted wisdom. Religious Studies aims to develop students’ appreciation of religious thought and its contribution to the individual, communities and society. Through the systematic study of religious, philosophical and ethical issues, students are encouraged to adopt an enquiring, critical and reflective approach to both the study of religion and to their own values, beliefs and attitudes.
